I am a self-taught photographer based out of Columbus, Ohio. My interests in photography started while on a research expedition to Antarctica in pursuit of my PhD, and since then I have made it my mission to communicate the beauty and importance of our planet's wild places and inhabitants. My background in science provides me with a unique insight into interactions in nature, and the role that we humans play in manipulating these relationships. It is my ultimate goal to use powerful imagery and story telling to bring important issues to the mainstream.
